Did he make the right desicion?

Oh this thread again.
I can't be bothered to post again all the Minecon cancer compilations though, so I'll just leave it at yes, he absolutely did.

Considering his life is just constant suffering, probably not.

Selling Minecraft was probably a good idea, but doing nothing with his millions is fucking lame. If I had his money I'd set up a new gamedev studio, hire the best people and be the "ideas guy" because I'd be signing everyone's checks. It'd be fuckin' rad.

But sitting around in a candy mansion being a bitter fuck on Twitter all day is better I guess.

is he dare i say it /ourguy/?

>>383151594
Well my life ain't shit either but at least he has more money than I have braincells left and can spend his days shitposting without mercy.

>>383150927
Big Smoke made the right move but on the wrong people.

>>383151691

I'd do the exact same anon, but I gotta say I do love his shitposting on Twitter. I don't care for Minecraft but respect his attitude now he does not have to play nice with SJW like other devs.

Why do they hate him?

>>383151594

They hate him cos they ain't him. I don't really know how Minecraft started or how the business evolved but should he have been the sole beneficiary of Microsoft fat wallet?

>>383152262
No. He feels like shit because he knows he could have given the people who helped him out far more and he would barley have noticed it. Instead he bought a giant mansion in beverly hills in which he will live out the rest of his life alone. But at least he can shitpost on twitter.

>>383151691

That would imply he didn't just get stupidly lucky with Minecraft. He hasn't got into anything like what you mention because that's all he had and it turned out to be pretty amazing for him.

>>383152709
he also looks like he fixed his teef

>>383151691

Why is obligated to spend his money? Don't get me wrong, I wish he would buy a bunch of overpriced maymay stuff so I watch everyone get salty too. But still, he's probably scared about burning though it. Not all at once but a slow and steady bleed.

There's a good Darkest Dungeon quote but lazy.

>>383150927
>lives in a giant mansion with a dedicated candy room
Probably. He was already ruined creatively, he couldn't improve Minecraft without stealing ideas, and the other games he worked on never even left proof-of-concept. He already sold his soul to the devil long before Microsoft, they just let him stop. And really, he was just a shit developer that got lucky.

>>383152225
They thought they would all get millions for making the game worse each patch.

>>383153252
The reason Notch is depressed as fuck is because he's not doing anything.

You need to either work, or have enough money to do things. He mas money and he can work.

Literally no excuse.

>>383152662
There were about 35 people working with him on minecraft before he sold it to microsoft. He was the license holder and primary share holder so he got all the money from the sale (ended up being about 1.7 billion) and he gave the people he worked with only $300,000. He could have easily given them a couple million each and not even made a dent in the money he has.

>>383153252
He could easily tie up half of it in safe investments and assets and then use the other half for whatever he needs or wants. Right now he's just like a rich old miser sitting in his mansion and doing nothing all day.

>>383153525

Fuck off commie. It's his money. He should not have given the employees anything other than the salary they agreed on.

I'm sure you'd be saying the same thing if you had worked to make the game what it was.

>>383152225
People probably think it has to do with money, but all signs show that after a certain point money has extremely little impact on happiness. Those people were working on something they loved and felt like they had a purpose. That was thrown away for a massive amount of cash they didn't need. Notch was totally right in cashing in on something he didn't really care about and success he accidentally stumbled into, and they're also right for thinking he's still a shitty person for not caring about what they were working on as much as they did.

That's my take anyway.

>>383154192
And they are fully within their right to resent him for cashing out and selling to Microsoft. It's common knowledge that Notch was a creative director past a point, only being an ideas guy at best. Everyone else was making art assets + coding, he was not.

The real issue is that they're all a bunch of dumb programmers. It's very typical for the early team of employees to own parts of the company, too, sort of all-for-one idea. Notch was the smart one here, keeping sole ownership. They got played and they're pissed about it.

Exactly.

Try going up to your boss and asking for free money after he makes a deal and gets a phat bonus; he'll laugh out loud and tell you you've got to stay late.

His IP, his majority shares, his negotiations with Microsoft, etc.

>>383154387
why else would anyone complain about the money they received for free unless they arent satisfied with the amount?

I think you have this backwards. He became "redpilled" because even after getting an enormous amount of money he couldn't get a woman. It's impotent spite.

>>383154628

You act like a business front man who sells products or services, which he doesn't produce, for a profit (all off the blood, sweat and tears of others) is uncommon.

I'm sure this is his mentality. This is also why he's utterly friendless now and spends his days alone in his mansion.

He was entirely within his right to sell the company and give them nothing, because he never split ownership. A smart thing to do if money is your only concern, but it's basically a screwjob on the employees. No wonder they hate him.

>>383154768
Again no one is complaining except Notch on not receiving enough gratitude so idk why you are annoyed at non-existent complains. How can someone speak so much on something he has no fucking idea of?

>>383155221

Why were they entitled to more than they were promised? They got more than they were promised, much more. Why are they entitled to even more than that? They didn't buy stock, meaning they didn't care, or didn't believe in the game. It's not anyone's job but your own to manage your money.

Fuck you, take some fucking responsibility for yourself.

>>383155326
Do you understand just how much money 1.7 billion is? It's far more than every /v/ user combined will ever amass in their entire lifetimes.

>>383155251
>>383155281
well ok i probably jumped to conclusions but i think it's suspicious that after how many fucking years after the deal went down people are STILL talking about how notch "le stiffed" the rest of his dev team
that's the thing about anonymous boards - you never know exactly who youre talking to
hell one of this original dev team could be in this thread RIGHT NOW griping about the 300k they got for free and how they didnt get more

It's every man for himself. If the peons wanted more then they should have all filed some type of group lawsuit against him.

He would have thrown them a million or two because it wouldn't be worth his time to deal with. He needs that time to make dank Twitter posts...tweets?

But if I were him and these little bastards were trying to bite the hand that's feeding them, I would hire the best Jew lawyers in town and drag out the case as long as possible. I would care about winning, I just want them to all go bankrupt paying their legal fees. Even if they won, it wouldn't be for much and it would have cost them everything.

/v/ remembers, people still talk about samtolkicuck stuff in gdq threads, like 3 years later.
Minecraft, notch and /v/ have history, so it's extra likely to get brought up.
Minecraft is a very popular game even ignoring that part, and so it is likely to get brought up.

>>383155461
>They didn't buy stock.
You don't seem to understand how privately owned companies work. There is no stock to buy. This was a situation in which a bunch of friends agreed to work on this new idea with him. They didn't lawyer up or have anyone look over contracts because Notch was a friend, they probably didn't even know that it's typical for early employees in start-ups to receive portions of the company. They didn't imagine that he would one day sell the whole thing and give them a paltry sum.

Don't be so insanely devoted to what's legal and so intensely devoted to raw capitalism. What he did was fully within his rights, but it rightfully isolated him because this was an incredibly one-sided deal in his favor. He preyed on his friend's ignorance and ran away with a massive payday.

>>383156529
well generally speaking the only way to BECOME rich/ wealthy is to never pay full price for anything

i imagine though that if everyone in (country) adopted that kind of thinking the economy would be similar to that of japan's - ultra high prices for shit

the only thing i would have done differently is to buy an average house in a nice neighborhood and not a billion dollar mansion then just live my life enjoying my billions and finish out by donating it all to the humane society

It's not his job to secure those things for them. If ownership was important to them, they should have done something about it BEFORE it became worth so much money. They only reason they're unhappy now is because they regret their inaction.

You treat this as if they are owed part of his money. They didn't own part of the company and that was evident from when they signed on. If they thought it was unfair before the Microsoft deal, why didn't they speak up? They are salty because they don't get to be rich forever on money he made with his idea. It's not as if what they did was difficult. The game was coded in fucking java or scala. They don't deserve 300k for what an intern at yahoo does every day. They got it though, and they're salty they didn't get more.

He played his cards right.

I mean lets be honest there was already a "minecraft" before people started playing his.

>>383159257
....huh?

This board is filled to the fucking brim redditors. Notch didn't invent shit, he ripped off Infiniminer. He even admits to this. And when the game was in early early alpha, he got shitloads of feedback and direction from both 4chan and SA. Well before the beta, when the game was less than a year old, he was already hiring on friends. Notch's personal involved was heavily dialed back and within 2 years of Minecraft's start he wasn't even the lead dev anymore, and this was before it truly began to explode.

He had zero influence on all of the console and mobile versions, which are all the best selling versions. What the fuck at people bending over backwards to defend him. He wouldn't have shit if we didn't personally shill the game in the early years.

>>383151594

I was driven past his mansion on a tour in Beverly Hills when I was in LA. He opened his front door to get something from the mail, and he saw the car I was in. He smiled and waved, and I waved back.

What are some fun times you've had in minecraft?

Didn't really know minecraft when I got into it, but I frequented a livestream with people from 4chan, and the host of that decided to host a mc server for us.
Just casually building and exploring with a group of acquaintances is fun.
Seeing what different things people come up with, then connecting them with rails.
We had several iterations of that.

With some of those we also played on some /pol/ server with factions mod.

4craft was fun, but the best time was probably civcraft it was some reddit server, but several boards had set up towns there and formed a chanadian union. /pol/ynesia, /a/kihabra.
Server held like 150 people, and at one point we were a few short of 100 in /v/ersailles, 90+ people squeezed together and building a town in basically a few days.
Was fascinating how independently people worked so close and started collaborating spontaneously on different projects.

Yup and he's got every right to be a stuck up asshole about it too.

Unlike some indie devs who think their shit is gold.

Oh please. Under Microsoft they still had the same exact creative control until probably a year ago when they ramped up heavily on porting Minecraft into C++. They were angry with him years ago and easily be pissed off now. I believe they were upset for 'selling out', not getting their 'fair share', and worried the direction of Minecraft and the company. Of course they were pissed off that he got billions and they got a few dollars in comparison.

>>383161357

holy shit this historical revisionism, you're acting like they're some indie garage dev that hit it big when notch already had a boulder-sized snowball rolling down the side of mount everest before he recruited a bunch of people who barely did anything important

in the end they gave far less than they got, with fat salaries, 300k, and "I worked on the best-selling game in history" on their CV

>>383150927
>not having to go to minecon anymore
Yes

>>383164513
Do you think he always goes outside? He probably only ever waves if someone on a tour does happen to pass by.

>>383152225
I guess it's nicer to work for an independent company than a corporate giant like Microsoft

>>383150927
>"We want to give you $2,000,000,000 for a project you were happy to make $50,000 on." -Microsoft

Really not a tough decision.

>>383163843
underrated

>>383151159
Imagine how much value and purpose he will miss out in this lifetime though.

There's something to be said about personal growth through hard work and struggle. I imagine he must be very lonely as well.

Big Smoke you fuckin busta!

>>383154056

Spotted the cuck.

dinnerbone and the rest of the bukkit team only deserved to be fired, didn't even attempt the mod api they were hired to make

>>383154551
>Those people were working on something they loved and felt like they had a purpose. That was thrown away for a massive amount of cash they didn't need.

Notch didn't sell the cure of cancer to big pharma or some jew, he sold an idea that wasn't even his. He did the right thing, the devs that hate him must be SJW and maybe think they deserve more money than they got.

Also Notch would still be depressed and shitposting on twitter but without a couple billion if he didn't sell.

>you will NEVER be a billionaire so you can go make AAAA dream games completely free from any casualization during the day and relax in your comfy mansion during the night
this wasn't the reality i signed up for

>>383154701
This is one of those situations where I can agree with you. Minecraft was a fluke. It got insanely popular because it triggered something in a lot of people, and then it turned into an autism fest, and money started printing itself.

These people COULD have organized and said "This project is worth X but we're only getting paid Y, we want to be paid in our value or we all walk" but that kind of organization is difficult, especially if half of the group is happy with 300k a year. Besides, where are they gonna go? Nowhere else in the world will pay 300k to make a shitty lego meme video game.

>>383166158
Yes there is much value and purpose in being someone's bitch/tool
the only personal growth he'll miss out on is growing old and seeing your dreams fall apart

>>383153525
99% 35 people working "with him" only jumped on the ship sometime after the halloween update came out AKA the last update notch ever contributed and they proceeded to add nothing of value for the several years they worked there
>>383153978
they "worked" on the game by adding useless garbage.

CJ was a busta anyway. Big Smoke made the right call.

>>383150927
>alone without a family
Being lonely just screws you up more as time goes on.
None of you understand this because you're far too young.
If you're ok career wise better start looking for a gf, before you have to settle with being alone or with some dumb cunt.
You can do it anons.

>>383150927
He made one right decision and then lots of wrong ones. Becoming a billionaire was a good one, moving to hollywood, buying a fuckugly mansion, partying with normalfags, and doing nothing but shitposting on twitter were bad ones

>>383166158
>poor people actually think this
ahahahhahahahhahhhahaha

>>383167656
notch has a daughter though with that woman who divorced him exactly when divorce bonuses kicked in, I wonder how he's doing on that front

>>383167656
>Being lonely just screws you up more as time goes on.
Yeah.
If I didn't have my siblings I think I would be very screwed up, only kinda screwed up.

>>383166174
First thing I thought as well.

>there are people in this thread that wouldn't do the same thing in his shoes
lmaoing at your life

>>383168559
I'd give my co-workers a cool mil each though, unless I thought they were faggots or actual friends

>>383166158
You can unretire, you know? Just because he has retired now doesn't mean he'll be doing nothing for the rest of his life.

>>383168673
Listen, when you have as much money as he, even you know, and almost everyone you meet will be fake as fuck. You can't trust them to not take advantage of you. This is why the rich only try to befriend the rich, because they are the only other people they can trust no to leech off them. Selfish as it sounds, that's the reality.

>>383168157
>notch has a daughter
>Minna Almina Zelda Zetterstrand
Well, he should then get his life together instead of arguing with twitter mongoloids.
I hope his daughter turns out ok, but with parents like that most children end up screwed up.

>>383166158
nigger, he can do whatever he wants

>>383154842
That animation is funny as hell.

>>383169143
I don't know how I'd act around notch if I befriended him.

I imagine it is intimidating even if you have the best intentions.
Like if he suggests to do something for a night, it's pricey, you know the implication if you say no you don't want to do it because of the money, that he could easily pay for it, even if you don't want him to.
Would probably be cool do play board games and drink cheap beer with.

>>383152709
I scrolled through the catalog too fast and thought this was a GTA San Andreas thread at first.

>>383169143
He/me had gotten to know these people before he became retardedly rich and got the chance to give out tons of money though

but I still would maybe give someone I considered an actual friend and worked as a subordinate with me on minecraft like 100 million at most (and that's assuming they were the only one)

though if I somehow became ridiculously wealthy in real life I'd probably give all my friends cushy and overpaid positions in some of the companies I would set up, instead of just outright giving them free cash like a beggar, nepotism is less demeaning than charity
>>383169671
I wouldn't ask for anything, but I'd accept anything he offered

also if I managed to like, meet him in a bar or something I'd probably try to give some unsolicited advice or something, considering he doesn't seem happy at all

>>383153252
>Why is obligated to spend his money?

>make billions, nevermind if through genius or sheer luck
>blow a fraction on stupid shit, let the rest sit dormant
>be lonely childless depressed fuck
>never again able to find true friends or true love because all people see is $$$
>lead unhealthy lifestyle
>die suddenly in early 40s
>all money goes to the gubment

Fucking hell Notch, I hope you had at least enough common sense to get a proper legal will written and give all your money to EFF once you kick the bucket.

>>383169671
>I don't know how I'd act around notch if I befriended him.
As a guy with a rich friend the key is to not give a fuck about money.
If one of the following happens
>he thinks you are after his money
>you are after his money/when you see him you only think about money
Then you two can never really be friends.

>>383150927
Why did Microsoft offer him such a huge amount of money right off the bat? Or was he previously rejecting millions of dollars?

>>383170334
He apparently has a daughter.
I hope he at least fought his ex for visitation rights as he obviously didn't fight for custody, but the way he acts it just seems like he doesn't care about her.
This is me speaking as someone whose only knowledge comes from these threads, but you guys do tend to go into a lot of detail about other's lives.

>>383171180
>having a daughteru and neglecting her
notch is such a fucking retard holy shit
if I was him I'd make a billion fucking children and groom them all to become respectable upper class people and to fill my giant empty fortress of solitude
fuck I'd even move to somewhere like saudi arabia just to get more wives for my spawn, twenty children, why the fuck not

>>383171705
>if I was him
well you're an insane person

>>383171898
>you're insane if you want to have children
okay, twenty children to several wives is maybe exaggerating, but like five would be nice

>>383166158
>gaben
>makes billions
>Continues living his life as he did before making software not games

Considering he has a couple billion, he could easily start up another mojang with his money. He doesn't since he's an autist that enjoys shitposting

>>383162434
Go back to your containment game kid.

>>383171163
I just wonder why they seemed to wait so long before showing any interest in buying them out.
